How it is built
- We find the firms that rank on Google for the questions our clients ask, and the pages they publish on services, case studies, articles and research. For AI platforms and hosting providers we read their own pricing pages, data terms and documentation.
- We read each page in full and record its claims, every statistic with the sentence it appears in, every published price, and the buyer problems it describes.
- Each page is graded 1 to 5 for how specific and verifiable it is. Our articles only use pages graded 3 or higher.
- Prices are dated to the day we read them and checked again each month. Quotes in our articles are word for word.
We name consultancies and agencies in our articles but do not link to them. Analyst research and AI platforms' own pricing pages and terms are linked as sources. Brand Media Works does not publish its own fees.
